so..thank You All for this post..

a local fellow, who has built plugs for years, but never uses the internet, has given me this tid bit....(and he makes a nice darter)...the darter is the one plug he makes, that he does not thru wire...all epoxied in screw eyes...he said it is the nature of the hardwood that is required and the position of the line tie etc. that makes the plug too vulnerable to splitting... he has assured me, that is the only way to do it....
WHOOOAA .. typed mine before reading yours Karl .. I suspected but wasn't sure .. thanks for that ..
